Theo and Sacar; as the fix was in.

[TJ]

Theo got jobbed.

Sacar got himself ejected. He deserves no praise for what he did last night. Getting in the middle of an altercation when you already had a T earlier in the game is going to get you tossed every time.

Give me a break

[HutchwasClutch]

In reference to comments about Sacar.  Both teams were barking and in each other's faces and in the midst of all that chaos, refs decided to target Anim.  Never mind Powell instigated it all by charging John when he already had one T.  But hey, Powell can play on, nothing to see there.

they gave them a double T. It was Sacar’s 2nd so he was ejected. It was Powell’s first so he was not.

I’ll agree with you 100% that it’s not fair that Powell’s flagrant 1 foul earlier doesn’t count as a T for these purposes and I think the rule should definitely be changed, but as it stands that’s the rule.

Give me a break

I agree about Theo. It was BS.

You’re just wrong about Sacar. Theo walked away and kept his cool. Sacar didn’t. Powell should have been ejected too - the refs should have found a way - but that doesn’t mean that Sacar shouldn’t have.

Total crap that Powell's flagrant 1 wasn't a T.  NCAA has to get this crap in order.  It's hurting the game badly and going to lose fans.

Ok, you tell me, what did Sacar do to earn T number two?  Is your rationale that he didn't run away and hide?

I can absolutely agree with that. Stupid rule. Should change ASAP.

Perhaps the rule should be cleaned up but F1’s are supposed to be unintentional or less involved. The real problem last night was that Powell’s should have been a F2 (intentional elbows with intent to harm) and Theo’s F2 should have been a marginal (at worst) F1. In their post-game slobber, the refs tried to justify something that didn’t happen.

He walked up to and got right  in a SHU players face. He was the only MU player to do anything wrong in the situation and he is also the only one who should have been on alert to NOT do something like that as he was playing with 1 T already.

For all the things that the refs did wrong last night (there were many, including letting it escalate to this point), this was not one of them. Can you honestly say that a player with an earlier T in the game getting involved in a scrap should not get a second T there?

The real problem last night was that Piwell’s should have been a F2 (intentional elbows with intent to harm) and Theo’s F2 should have been a marginal (at worst) F1. In their post-game slobber, the refs tried to justify something that didn’t happen.

agreed

Theo got hosed, Powell got away with murder and Sacar was treated as he should have been. Sucks that properly calling Powell’s first cheap shot correctly could have avoided the whole situation, but it wasn’t and Sacar didn’t keep his cool.

Yes I can say that.  He didn't push, shove, throw a punch.  Everyone was barking and in each other's faces.  They might as well have t'd up all 10 guys on the court then!!   Why was he the lone guy targeted other than SH goon who shoved John from behind.  The refs need to show discretion in judgment in that situation.  They sure gave Powell every benefit of the doubt to save his ass.  And Powell's offenses were way worse.  He started the whole thing by charging John.

He got shoved by a reserve player from Seton Hall. He reacted. What did you want him to do?  Run away?

My point exactly.  The prior T he had was irrelevant, he did nothing to earn a 2nd one.

That isn't what he was T'd up for though. The officials say that Powell got up, and Sacar confronted him. He didn't. Powell came at Theo. Sacar was there trying to keep people separated.

At that point, the officials already called a double T on Powell and Sacar (at least that is what the lead official confirmed today).

They then later called a T on Mamu.

Sacar was not T'd up for his confronting Nelson. Incidentally, Nelson was not T'd up for shoving Sacar.

Total BS. Sacar didn't confront Powell at all. And you just can't call a T on Sacar but not Nelson. Officials were off their rockers.

[TJ]

stay calm and walk away or get a second T. He had his choices. His behavior was in sharp contrast with every other MU player. Did you expect the refs to call 3 T’s On SHU and nothing on MU?

Hard to walk away when a Seton Hall player hits you in the chest, aina?

Again, he was not called for a T for the confrontation with the reserve player. They called a double T on him and Powell. They said he was trash talking Powell again. That didn't happen, but the officials claim it did.

This guy actually paid attention and understands what happened.

[Mutaman]

A clear case of overthinking which along with ego is the main problem with modern officiating. Which ever MU player  banged Powell should have gotten a personal and Mamukelashvili should have gotten his second T. End of story. And it shouldn't have taken 9 minutes either.

[TJ]

2nd Guy gets the foul all the time. It’s a thing in sports. Don’t be the second guy...

[HutchwasClutch]

OMG- seriously.  You're obsessing about that first T to the point of being ridiculous.  So anything he looks or does from that point on in the game and it's ok to toss him.  Because he didn't take a knee with the Seton Hall cheerleaders, he deserved to be T'd up. 

[TJ]

2nd guy gets the foul... sucks for us but such is life.

Hi w that seton hall reserve didn’t get T’d up for that shove is baffling.  They only reviewed it for 10 minutes.
